AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Santicri participated in numerous internationally prominent art exhibitions. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts.

Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also placed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, a further sign of growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene.

Unique Work

This work fuses painting and object, transforming one of the most recognizable icons of contemporary communication into a physical gesture suspended in time. The brush, incorporated into the canvas, becomes an integral part of the work, fixing the creative action at the moment of its execution. The drips crack the perfection of the smiley face, suggesting that behind a universal symbol of happiness may coexist imperfection, fragility, and authenticity.

SPEDIZIONE ASSICURATA!.
The package is carefully packed, the canvas is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, frame not included.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, placing himself just after icons such as Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier and Pokémon. A recognized talent not only for its creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies of Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There the growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity arose.
His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art and sculpture, pop art, contemporary art.
"It is never easy to classify one’s art, I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that suits modern times: impactful and memorable."

Seller's Story

Communicating through a work goes beyond the message: it is the very heart of art. My works move between social messages and pure pop, often with a touch of irony. I try to reinterpret what surrounds me with a contemporary, impactful, and memorable visual language. Beauty, for me, is a bridge between people. In my works I seek to capture that sense of connection and recognition that comes from the harmony hidden in forms. Resin is today the material I prefer: it allows me to experiment, to fuse design and sculpture, to explore new aesthetic possibilities. This ongoing research pushes me beyond my comfort zone, keeping creative curiosity alive. I create to give shape to an inner impulse, to make visible what usually remains invisible: time, work, and experience that give meaning to our journey.
